Isolation of nanoplastics in fish from the North Aegean sea

Abstract: The breakdown of plastics in our oceans is one of our times biggest challenges. What happens when these plastics are broken down into pieces too small to see is still a mystery. Nanoplastics is a relatively new area of research and much more studies need to be done before we can get a perspective of how big the problem is. To be able to study these plastics we need a way to attain nanoplastic samples from our oceans. This thesis aims to act as a first step in suggesting a method to isolate eventual nanoplastics accumulated in fish.
